Book Review - Being a Captain is Hard Work by Carole P. Roman

Being a Captain is Hard Work

In
“Being a Captain is Hard Work” by Carole P. Roman, it was another great
morning on the Captain No Beard ship. All of his crew were getting
ready for the Captain’s call. Mongo is the first to say that they had
dark clouds and rough winds. Captain No Beard did not agree with him. He
continues to give orders and his journey until the end, not listening
to the warnings of his crew. Until a gust of wind shucked the ship and
everything was out of control. But not even that stopped Captain No
Beard of thinking that he knew what he was doing.

On this
adventure with Captain No Beard, what I learned is that not all the time
do we know everything. We need to listen to others and let them helps
us. A bad decision could be dangerous and “a good friend will always
tell you when you are doing something wrong.”

“Being a Captain is
Hard Work” by Carole P. Roman is an excellent story. I loved the
illustrations and liked the handy list of the different types of clouds.

A Note from Paola’s Mom:

Paola loves all the adventures of Captain No Beard.

What
she liked and learned from this one is how important it is to listen to
others and not focus on our own thoughts. She learned that sometimes
she will probably be right, but many other times will make mistakes. And
that is part of the learning process. Excellent learning adventure.
